Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 18
### What happened
When I hold down Ctrl and hover the mouse cursor over a constructor or method, the javadoc that popups does not display the names of the variables properly.
### How to reproduce
In a Java file, define a new BufferedImage(), hold down Ctrl, and hover the mouse cursor over the constructor name. It shows three parameters called i, i1, and i2, instead of width, height, and imageType.
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
Apache NetBeans 16
### Operating System
Windows 10 version 10.0 running on AMD64
### JDK
1.8.0_241
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans provided installer
### Anything else
_No response_
### Are you willing to submit a pull request?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the editor Javadoc popup in a Java file with a BufferedImage constructor, comparing the parameter display in NetBeans 18 and 16. Done means the popup shows width, height, and imageType instead of i, i1, and i2.
